FWRD X JingLengStyle | Fall Lookbook
ModeSens global partner FORWARD by Elyse Walker, also known as FWRD, satisfied my shopaholic dream during this content collaboration. I was able to order whatever I wanted from FWRD, one of my favorite shopping websites! After I placed my order, it arrived in just two days. I am so excited to share with you an open box/try on haul from FWRD.
I selected five fall looks, starting from closet essentials to statement pieces that you can easily mix and match for an added pop to your everyday look.
First look - Mini dress + oversized blazer
Animal prints continue to be very trendy this season. I selected this zebra print dress from MIAOU, and this is my first time trying this brand. The dress color and print is very eye-catching so for my accessories I chose black to echo the black zebra stripes.
A boyfriend style oversized blazer is warm and stylish. It can easily match with anything which makes it a perfect jacket to throw on during fall/winter.
The mini bag trend is back. This micro PS1 bag from Proenza Schouler can be a handbag, crossbody bag or it can even transform into a belt bag. This bag is big enough to hold your daily handbag essentials. In the picture to the left, I am wearing R13 platform combat boots and in the picture to the right I am wearing Gianvito Rossi’s lace up boots with heels. I also wore different sunglasses in these looks. Which look is your favorite?

Second look - Multiple ways to wear a camel blazer with neutrals
For a neutral look, simply combine earth tones from your fall closet. I selected this tan Victoria Beckham blazer and paired it with a pair of neutral Max Mara high waisted pants. The bag from this look is Marc Cross and the heels are Malone Souliers. I love this blazer’s material. It is lightweight which makes it easy to tuck into pants and the fabrication has a natural creased structure built in, so you do not need to worry about wrinkling.
For a casual everyday look. You can easily throw on this blazer with a white t-shirt and denim shorts. To add a little more cool character to this look, I am wearing R13’s combat boots.

Third look - Accessorize a jumpsuit
To create an effortless business look, I used layering and accessories to elevate a solid color jumpsuit. For my layering piece, I picked out a fall/winter essential - a neutral turtleneck. To make this look even more cohesive, I matched the turtleneck sweater with my heels.
For my accessories I selected a black double belt by Alexander McQueen and a new black Saint Laurent bag. The belt tied my look together and helped accentuate my waist. I love to use the same color to accessorize a look. It is easy to achieve and helps make a more elegant look.

Fourth look - Color/pattern coordination
Fall fashion tends to be focused on darker colors. If you love colors like me, how can we coordinate brighter colors for a fall/winter look? Just simply remember to match your shoes, accessories, and bag with the colors from your top.
One of my favorite sweater brands is Alberta Ferretti, so without hesitation, I selected a sweater from them. I paired this rainbow wool and cashmere sweater in blue with a pair of high waisted ’90s jeans by RE/DONE. For my shoes and bag, I coordinated the colors to reflect the pink and purple from the rainbow sweater. The crystal element from the Manolo Blahnik sandals and the Alexander Wang bag really glams up this casual look.

Fifth look - Texas Chic
Maybe moving to Texas really has influenced my style? This season, I found myself loving the combination of denim with python. If you are considering buying an animal print item, but you are worried about the wearability of the item, then I suggest you start by buying a small item in animal print, so you won’t be overwhelmed by the pattern during your first try.
For this look I matched the python boots with a similar belt. To complete this look, I added a red snake print bag by Alexander Wang for a pop of color.

XXL: THE SHOES OUR FEET ARE FUCKING WITH Shared from SSENSE . Click here to read more Breaking Down the Impact of Chunky Sneakers feat. Balenciaga, Nike, Eytys, and More Long before the rise of Balenciaga’s Triple S, before Eytys’ Angel or Acne Studios’ Manhattan, bulky shoes were thriving. Their prevalence and array of corresponding shapes continue to evolve with whatever mainstream silhouettes and lifestyles catch wind. To occupy more space than necessary—by way of your shoe—is to make a statement of how you wish to be perceived within the world.
